Officer`s Girlfriend To Make Statement

December 26, 1985|United Press International

MIAMI — State prosecutors will take a statement today from the girlfriend of a Miami policeman who is under suspension pending the outcome of an investigation into the theft of $150,000 from a Police Department safe.

The cash, used as ``flash money`` for undercover drug investigations, disappeared from the safe in October. Detective Louis Fernandez, 25, was suspended with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Fernandez`s girlfriend, Mara Linares, 19, was subpoenaed by state prosecutors and was asked to take a polygraph test. Lawyer Douglas Williams argued Monday in Dade Citcuit Court that the subpoena was invalid.
